Black Sesame Ogura Cake and Orange Ogura Cake # 9&10

After I posted the Pandan  and Coffee  flavors Ogura Cakes  during the month of March 2013 for the Malaysian Food Fest event.   
I find that there is an uptrend  of  Ogura Cake  craze!   Originally this craze was among  the Chinese  bloggers.  
Now  the wind of Ogura Cakes  craze strikes again with more people wanting  to bake the popular cakes.  This is my personal opinions only.  
The reasons, I think,  its more healthier, and I want my cake without and frosting, cream.  Plain is BEST! 

I am posting Black Sesame Ogura and Orange Ogura Cakes at one go  as I have quite a number of postings in the waiting  lists...... Phew.......
